| HOST |
Hello blog guests, you are welcome to the New Year in this blog with respect to the articles here while you have been surfing through my previous posts and staying connected to the latest news globally cum videos. Thanks for being patient with me in unveiling my first post of the year - 2014.
Today the series ‘Leadership Development’ continues, with the conclusion
of the subtopic “handling leadership challenges.” Before we continue the
series, here is a brief motivational message to you from me as we are already a
month into the New Year.
NEW YEAR WELCOME MESSAGE
As you dare to fast track your way to success this year, don’t forget to
retrace your steps with respect to the path you followed last year that where unfruitful and time wasting. It would be an aberration for
you to follow the same process(es) and condition(s) that culminated in failure
or stagnancy without working on yourself and the status quo available to you yet
again this year. Dare to ensure you don’t remain where you finished last year
or started this year. You have got to work your way to getting better and
achieving something different this year, this may require applying another
pattern or approach to your old challenges or facing entirely new challenges.
In academics, business, your job, your career or any positive endeavour, you
have got to work on your previous weakness(es) and perfect your strength. Let it
be that come December 31st, 2014, you can boldly say to yourself
with a square shoulder and standing akimbo to your mirror that; oh yes! I am
now a better person than the previous year. I repeat: It would be an aberration
if by the end of the year you do not have anything new as an achievement to show
you are now a better person by then. Change your approach, work on your
weaknesses and perfect your strength. See you at the top come December 2014. God
bless you and happy new year once again!

Now it’s back to the business of the day – WORDS ON MARBLE 74, with
the conclusion of the sub-topic “HANDLING LEADERSHIP CHALLENGES (PART 2),” in
the LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT SERIES.
HANDLING LEADERSHIP CHALLENGES (PART 2)
Ladies and Gentlemen, it is glad to be back again on this topic. You
will recall in my last post that I wrote on handling challenges as a leader
that has to do with your boss even as I promised to continue with the aspect of
handling challenges as regards working as a team leader with subordinates, facing
other natural challenges or even artificial challenges and dealing with
headstrong subordinates.
·
Handling challenges with team members, colleagues or headstrong subordinates.
Challenges can come through your subordinates, team members and
others. As a leader, you have got to be very composed in the face these
challenges. Some colleagues or subordinates can so deliberately be offensive
such that they can go as far as driving you up the wall. In management
meetings, you could be faced with false accusations or counter accusations that
can put you off gear and your boss ends up putting all the blames on you. Some
team members can be very selfish, aggressive, always complaining, self-centred
and jealous. Your leadership skills would surely be needed in dealing with
challenges of this nature.
Now there are key tips you need to know when faced with such
challenges as a leader. These tips are sure path of what are required in developing
yourself as a leader.
a) Take time out to
identify the individual characters of each of your team members, colleagues and
subordinates. Recognize them by their attitude. Verify how difficult they might
be when confronted or when given tasks.
b) Recognizing the
people you work with should help you understand their idiosyncrasy and how you
work with them. By that the self-centred, aggressive and jealous ones with
interior motives can be clearly known by you and astutely handled.
c)
Try to control your words and actions when offended by any. Workers with
negative motives will dare to push you to the wall and throw you off balance so
you can become the subject of Management debate. Do not be drawn to such war of
words or actions that could be detrimental to your status as a leader. Reply stubborn
subordinates in few words throwing questions at them. Assert your authority by
taking longer time than necessary in responding to such workers. Some sentences
and slang words like the underlisted can go a long way in tackling challenging
team members, stubborn subordinates and others while making the interest of the
organisation the core of you statements:
i.
Your complaints actually show you are more interested in your
welfare than your work
ii.
How does that affect the organisation?
iii.
You said what?
iv.
Huh? This word can act as an amplifier in controlling a overheating moment in confrontation by a worker.
v.
How does that suit your role?
vi.
Are you sure of what you are saying?
vii.
Do you really believe what you just said?
These and many other sentences and words suit your response to
challenging team members that work with you or for you.
Guests come February 2014; I shall commence a fresh sub-topic in the
Leadership Development series as i write conclusively on handling challenges of
an organisation generally as a leader. Till then keep surfing through the blog.
God bless you.

QUOTES ON LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT 4
Leadership
cannot really be taught. It can only be learned.
Harold Geneen (1910 - 1997)
U.S. business
executive.
Managing
Leadership
exists in its most natural form among equals. It is not the same as domination
or the exercise of power. True leaders respect the integrity of others.
John Adair (1934 - )
British business
writer.
Understanding
Motivation
Ninety
percent of leadership is the ability to communicate something people want.
Dianne Feinstein (1933 - )
U.S. politician.
No
man will make a great leader who wants to do it all himself, or to get all the
credit for doing it.
Andrew Carnegie (1835 - 1919)
Scottish-born
U.S. industrialist and philanthropist.
Not everybody can be a leader, but everybody can be
an intermediary.
Theodore Zeldin (1933 - )
British historian.
An Intimate History of Humanity
One of the things about leadership is that you
cannot be a moderate, balanced, thoughtful, careful articulator of policy.
You've got to be on the lunatic fringe.
Jack Welch (1935 - )
U.S. electronics executive.
Washington Post
Purpose
is the central ingredient of power. Powerful people and organizations have a
strong, sometimes even skewed, sense of purpose...A strong point of view is
worth 80 IQ points.
Michael Eisner (1942 - )
U.S. entertainment
executive.
Strategy
and Business
Set
it down to thyself, as well to create good precedents as to follow them.
Francis Bacon (1561 - 1626)
English philosopher,
statesman, and lawyer.
Essays, "Of Great
Place"
Society,
by waiting for riots to occur before responding to needs, deprives the more
responsible Negro leaders of any possibility of leadership.
Bayard Rustin (1910 - 1987)
U.S. civil
rights leader.
Down
The Line, "The Mind of the Black Militant"
Success...is
found where there is the intelligent expertise of the commander, the bravery of
the troops, and faith.
Francisco Franco (1892 - 1975)
Spanish general
and dictator.
Remark
Successful
leadership is not dependent on the possession of a single universal pattern of
inborn traits and abilities.
Douglas Macgregor (1906 - 1964)
U.S. industrial
psychologist.
Surround
yourself with the best people you can find, delegate authority, and don't
interfere.
Ronald Reagan (1911 - 2004)
U.S. president
and actor.
Fortune
The
aim of leadership should be to improve the performance of man and machine, to
improve quality, to increase output, and simultaneously to bring pride of
workmanship to people.
W. Edwards Deming (1900 - 1993)
U.S. management
expert.
Out
of the Crisis
The
art of leadership is saying no, not yes. It is very easy to say yes.
Tony Blair (1953 - )
British prime
minister.
Mail
on Sunday (London)
The
art of leadership is to work with the natural grain of the particular wood of
humanity which comes to hand.
John Adair (1934 - )
British business
writer.
Understanding
Motivation
The
best leaders are apt to be found among those executives who have a strong
component of unorthodoxy in their characters. Instead of resisting innovation,
they symbolize it.
David Ogilvy (1911 - 1999)
U.S. advertising
executive.
Ogilvy
on Advertising
The brand of leadership we propose has a simple base
of MBWA (Managing by Wandering Around). To 'wander' with customers and vendors
and our own people, is to be in touch with the first vibrations of the new.
Tom Peters (1942 - )
U.S. management consultant and author.
A Passion for Excellence (co-written with Nancy Austin
The CEO's role in raising a company's corporate IQ is
to establish an atmosphere that promotes knowledge sharing and collaboration.

June Jordan (1936 - )
U.S. journalist, writer, and activist.
Civil Wars
The opportunist thinks of me and today. The statesman
thinks of us and tomorrow.
Dwight D.
Eisenhower (1890 - 1969)
U.S. general and president.
Speech, Lafayette College, Easton, Pennsylvania
The
problem facing almost all leaders in the future will be how to develop their
organizations' social architecture so that it actually generates intellectual
capital.
Warren Bennis (1925 - )
U.S. educationalist
and writer.
Strategy
and Business
The
trouble in modern democracy is that men do not approach to leadership until
they have lost the desire to lead anyone.
William Henry Beveridge (1879 - 1963)
British economist
and social reformer.
Observer
(London), "Sayings of the Week"
Today'
s adaptive executives...must be experts not in bureaucracy, but in the
co-ordination of ad-hocracy. They must adjust to immediate pressures—yet think
in terms of long-term goals.
Alvin Toffler (1928 - )
U.S. writer.
The
Adaptive Corporation
You've
got to be approachable...I like being called by my first name. I loathe being
called 'Chairman'.
John Harvey-Jones (1924 - 2008)
British business
executive and author.
Building
a team organization requires leaders to be knowledgeable as well as inspiring.
They should understand the nature of productive teamwork and feel a passion for
creating it.
Dean Tjosvold
U.S. psychologist
and author.
Psychology
for Leaders (co-written with Mary M. Tjosvold)
If
the means you employ to motivate others are hidden from them or seek to bypass
their conscious minds, then one is becoming a manipulator rather than a
motivator.

Stephen R. Covey (1932 - )
U.S. educator,
leadership consultant, author, and academic.
The
Seven Habits of Highly Effective People
No
institution can possibly survive if it needs geniuses or supermen to manage it.
It must be organized in such a way as to be able to get along under a
leadership composed of average human beings.
Attributed to Peter Drucker (1909 - 2005)
Austrian-born
U.S. management consultant.
The
central problem in management and in leadership...is failure to understand the
information in variation.

FEATURE 4>>>>LANDMARK
DISCOVERY
How electricity started
The story of electricity begins in the late 1700s with
Galvani’s invention of the battery, which was later improved by Volta, another
Italian. Galvani studied frog reflexes by hanging frog muscles on a metal
latticework outside his window and watching them twitch during thunderstorms.
Volta called this a demonstration of “animal electricity.” Volta discovered
that the frog electricity was caused by the action of an electrical current
through two dissimilar metals separated by animal tissues, for Galvani’s frogs
had hung on brass hooks attached to an iron latticework.
Volta was able to produce an electrical current without the frog parts
by experimenting with different pairs of metals separated by pieces of leather
soaked in brine. He then created a “pile” of zinc and copper plates, realizing
that the larger the pile, the more current he could drive through an external
circuit. Crucial to this work was Volta’s invention of an electrometer for
measuring the current. This research yielded two important results: a
laboratory tool for producing currents and a realization that electricity could
be produced by chemical reactions.
